Enabling quants, traders, and portfolio and risk managers to have better insights with derivative and fixed income analytics
Beacon today announces a new partnership to make FINCAD’s powerful analytics libraries available directly from the Beacon App Store. FINCAD is the capital markets group of leading Canada-based fintech Zafin and is a global leader in pricing and risk analytics of financial derivatives and fixed income products. The synergy between the two global companies joins best-in-class financial analytics with an industry-leading development and delivery platform.
This partnership broadens Beacon’s analytics capabilities and extends FINCAD’s reach into financial service providers looking to transition into the cloud. Beacon and FINCAD customers will have ready access to FINCAD analytics that gives quants, traders, and portfolio and risk managers better insights with derivative and fixed income analytics with a few lines of code.
“The essence of our partnership with Beacon is to enable portfolio/risk managers and quantitative analysts to conveniently use powerful analytics that are backed by effortless scalability,” said Christian Kahl, President of FINCAD.
“FINCAD and Beacon have very complementary products, and together are committed to building out partnerships and supporting an ecosystem that enables customers to innovate and accelerate time to value,” said Ryo Shimizu, SVP of Engineering at Beacon Platform.
Beacon and FINCAD are already exploring further integrations and product augmentations that leverage the expertise of both companies. They are engaging with existing customers to identify and prioritize the most valuable integration points.
Members of the FINCAD team presented highlights of the integrated analytics at the Beacon Developer Conference in London, England on March 9, 2023. Interested customers should contact Beacon or FINCAD directly to discuss how these cutting-edge analytics can help investment managers cope with, and even benefit from, challenging market conditions.
